Growing out 5x G. winemilleri, 2x G. dicrozoster and 5x S. acuticeps in a 90g. They are coloring up nicely and almost ready to gradate to the 300. Problem is that the 300 is FULL :nilly:

The tank looks really small now :( To make it worse the plants somehow stopped dying.

wow nice peathenster how big are they?
 
Wow those are really nice, I like the G. winemilleri a lot... don't know a whole lot about geo's how big does that species get as an adult?
 
They look GREAT Peter!!!! Winemilleri are a species I will own one day for sure... Looks like I am going to have to help you free up some room in the 300 ;) Any feedback on the temperment of the Winmilleri in groups?

Cool! Let's do it :)

They seem to do well in groups. Occasionally chasing but nothing serious. Perhaps the plants help, but they feel like typical Geo. in terms of temperament.

Beautiful Peter, G. winemilleri are one of my dream fish, as are acuticeps (and daemon of course) which are looking unreal.

Also, PM sent with a link that might interest you.

Thanks Japes. They are new to me as well and it's a lot of fun to watch them develop. The S. acuticeps coloration is very interesting, if not weird....feels like a wrong combination of colors :D

You have PM, it's done... Agreed with japes as well, both are a dream fish. The yellow coloration in the pectoral filaments on the acuticeps is very unique and I like it. :D
